Al_Fel Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Maybe your pads are trying to tell you something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headley Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Well if it's the paint that's coming off the sidewalls it's because try-all rims are sprayed whereas echo rims are anodised and so paint doesn't come off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mate dan (onzat-bird396) runs echo's on his Gu with Heatsink Snowies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 I have a rear anodized Atomz rim and I ran it for a couple of days with some citrus pads on a smooth rim, it wore the anodizing off within the first ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 (edited) Surely the fact that there is a brake pad hammering down at it and rubbing away at the rim would be more than enough or a nudge for you to use a bit of logic to work out why the finish could be mysteriously wearing down ?

Pashley26 Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Didn't ask why, just if he was the only one. I guess so, but it would seem logical that it would happen to all of them anyway ? I can't think of many "coatings" that would withstand the forces applied under hard braking on a trials bike. Anywho, nighty night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
